معركة القادسية الكبرى
30,000–36,000 Arab Muslim warriors — Sasanian army had the royal standard Derafsh Kaviani and 33 war elephants sowing terror among Arabian horses.
8,500 martyrs across 4 intense days of combat
60,000–100,000 elite Sasanian troops with 33 armored war elephants
20,000–40,000 Sasanian troops slain including Rostam Farrokhzad
Fought over four famous days: 1) Yawm Armath (Elephant terror); 2) Yawm Aghwath (Syrian reinforcements arrive under Al-Qa'qa'); 3) Yawm 'Amas (Qa'qa' blinds the lead white elephant with javelins, sending elephants trampling Persian lines); 4) Laylat al-Harir (Night of Clashing Weapons) followed by Hilal ibn Ullafah slaying Rostam at his throne.
Persian war elephants caused disarray in Muslim cavalry lines until archers targeted mahouts.
Al-Qa'qa' arrived with Syrian veterans and disguised camels to terrify Persian cavalry.
Continuous nocturnal hand-to-hand combat; a whirlwind collapsed Rostam's pavilion where he was slain.
Broke the military backbone of the ancient Sasanian Persian Empire, leading directly to the capture of the Persian capital Ctesiphon (Al-Mada'in) and the liberation of Iraq.
